Cover Me With Kisses 1923

Cuddled comfy cozy,
in your sweet caress,
Life would be so rosy
with that happiness,
Ev'ry care and trouble,
Soon would fly away,
if you'll only listen
to what I have to say:

Cover me with kisses
when I lay me down to sleep,
Tuck me in bed
when my prayers are said
and silent shadows creep,
Watch me while I slumber
and if I awake,
Croon a loving melody,
Just for old time sake
Make me think that I'm a kiddie
once more in your arms,
Let me cuddle close
when night time
binds me with its charms,
I won't wink,
I won't blink
Ev'ry word I'll keep
If you'll cover me with kisses
when I lay me down to sleep.

Cover me with kisses
when I lay me down to sleep,
Tuck me in bed
when my prayers are said
and silent shadows creep,
Watch me while I slumber
and if I awake,
Croon a loving melody,
Just for old time sake
Make me think that I'm a kiddie
once more in your arms,
Let me cuddle close
when night time
binds me with its charms,
I won't wink,
I won't blink
Ev'ry word I'll keep
If you'll cover me with kisses
when I lay me down to sleep.

List'ning to each story
as I used to do,
I was in my glory
ev'ry one seemed new;
Let me hear the music
of those baby rhymes,
for I know they'd take me
back to those happy times.

Cover me with kisses
when I lay me down to sleep,
Tuck me in bed
when my prayers are said
and silent shadows creep,
Watch me while I slumber
and if I awake,
Croon a loving melody,
Just for old time sake
Make me think that I'm a kiddie
once more in your arms,
Let me cuddle close
when night time
binds me with its charms,
I won't wink,
I won't blink
Ev'ry word I'll keep
If you'll cover me with kisses
when I lay me down to sleep.

Cover me with kisses
when I lay me down to sleep,
Tuck me in bed
when my prayers are said
and silent shadows creep,
Watch me while I slumber
and if I awake,
Croon a loving melody,
Just for old time sake
Make me think that I'm a kiddie
once more in your arms,
Let me cuddle close
when night time
binds me with its charms,
I won't wink,
I won't blink
Ev'ry word I'll keep
If you'll cover me with kisses
when I lay me down to sleep.
